Go on Shanks' Pony

To walk, to travel by foot.

Coming from old lawnmowers, which were pulled by horses yet designed without somewhere for the driver to sit.

When the subway broke down, and there was no shuttle bus in sight, I opted to go home on Shanks' Pony.

Skymall solution

An absurdly single-purposed tool or solution which solves a problem you don't actually have. Like many products in the popular in-flight catalog, Skymall.

I thanked my cousin for the gift of a Hot Dog Toaster, but thought I'd never need to cook enough hot dogs to justify owning such a Skymall solution.
